  1. Welcome to our Sunday The sermons will be uploaded to our YouTube channel at 2:30pm.
  • English & Youth Service: 10:00am @ Gym; JAM @B11; Junior JAM 10am @B4
  • Cantonese: 8:30 & 11:30am @Sanctuary; Mandarin: 10:00 am @Sanctuary
  1. Starting on November 2nd (Sunday), the JAM program will be replaced by Kids’ Corner between 10:00-11:30 in room B11. The kids will no longer join the adults in the English service. This new approach aims to provide our kids with a more natural flow on Sunday mornings and a worship time that’s better tailored to their ages. We’re excited to see how this new rhythm will help them not only better engage at church but also experience His presence in meaningful ways.

  1. New Sermon Series – Living the Good News in Our Community

Starting October 5th and running through November 23rd we will be engaging in discovering what it means to live the good news of Jesus in the community in which our church finds itself and in our everyday lives. We have both a vision and a mission statement as a church as well as a theme we have adopted for the year. (See the front page of the weekly bulletin.) The goal is to move from statements that sound good in principle to living them out. Pastors Bill and Don, along with Rev. Mak, will share in the preaching in this series, laying out the basis for why this is important and giving some practical examples of how we can effectively live that out. Our adult Sunday School will follow up during the same period with a study on The Art of Neighbouring. The purpose is to take what we are learning to a personal level in living the good news out in the communities in which we live. Come ready to be challenged as well as to grow in what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
